""Now it's preparation, there's a few more cameras, but it's business as usual. When we all go out onto the pitch tomorrow, then it'll be special," he said. "I believe I have a fantastic squad and we would like to go as far as possible. I think the most important thing is that it's one game at a time.""
""Villarreal are a very good team. I've been very impressed when I've studied them, but we'll do everything we can to get a good start. It's going to be a good challenge. We want to try and win it. But the most important thing is to take one game at a time. That begins with Villarreal, a very good team. Huge respect for Marcelino. His team is well structured, well organised and they like to dominate as much as they can on the ball.""
Tottenham return to the Champions League for the first time since 2022-23 and open their campaign at home against Villarreal. The team arrives off a 3-0 win at West Ham, their third victory in four Premier League matches under Thomas Frank. Tottenham have won only one of their last 13 matches against Spanish opponents, and this will be their first competitive meeting with Villarreal. The club has won only two of seven opening European Cup/Champions League matches, with home openers producing wins in 2017 and 2022. Thomas Frank will oversee his first Champions League match as head coach and maintains a business-as-usual preparation approach. Cristian Romero signed a four-year deal last month.
